    Here's hoping that at least two American riders have great races. Their future in the top level depends on it.

    Probably, though, it will be the usual suspects, Pedrosa, Stoner and Lorenzo occupying the podium (not necessarily in that order).

    Wish I could be there.

    Yeah, I'd like to see that, too. Though at Indy, as he's already doing AMA at Laguna.

    Will be interesting to see if Toni gets along with the new "Pirelli" as Cal Crutchlow calls the new Bridgestone.

    Could be a good match. :lurk

    He has had an equally rough ride in his current Moto2 season, but do you think that means he has forgotten how to ride?

    He is a past champion for a reason, and if he can get a ride under him that he is at home with he will ride well.

    Elias on a MotoGP bike, no matter how good or bad, makes more sense with his MotoGP experience than another trip for someone like B Boz with no MotoGP experience.

    Melissa Paris' husband was sure a nice surprise in MotoGP last year though!

    I agree. Never said it was a bad idea. I just don't think Hectic Hector has to worry about Elias showing him up or taking his seat.
